The Brontë Plot by left me with mixed feelings. There were some aspects of the story I really enjoyed and others not so much. Lucy Alling is an ordinary girl with the propensity for telling tall tales.* When it’s discovered that the rare books she sales are not so rare as they are forged, she finds […]
It’s no secret that I love Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice. I mean I’ve read it so many times my copy is falling apart, I own multiple copies in multiple formats, and I read just about all the fan fiction I can get of it. What can I say? I’m a Darcy girl 😀 That’s […]

Initial Reaction: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WONDERLAND?! The first time I ever read Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland I was ten. I loved every single word, even the ones I didn’t understand at the time. As an adult, I STILL love the classic. Carroll developed a world with strange and beautiful creatures, a world where anything […]
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating.

I just love a good clean story full of fantastical elements and hints of romance. A Thousand Nights is that book! It is full of elements I love and contains an heir of mystery, keeping me interested to the very last page. Initial Reaction: A Thousand Nights by is a loose retelling of the classic short 1001 Nights. […]
Initial Reaction: A Whole New World by is the first in a new series from that takes classic Disney films and asks the question “what if.” In this book, the question is “what if Jafar got the lamp instead of Aladdin?” Honestly I was intrigued from that synopsis alone. I LOVE the original cartoon from Disney, […]
Unhinged by picks up almost a year after Alyssa and Jeb went down the rabbit hole to save Wonderland from Queen Red in Splintered. I split this book in two: I was traveling when I decided I needed to to know what would happen to this beautiful world Howard created. So I listened to half of the book […]

As Red as Blood by was not at all what I expected. Personally I was expecting a loose retelling of Snow White. Instead what I got was a subpar crime novel about a supposedly ordinary girl who just happens to know a lot about stealth. Lumikki Andersson is 17, away at boarding school, finishing up her […]
